[pkcs11] Proposal: CKM_AES_GMAC

["Oscar K So Jr." <oscar.so@oracle.com>]

Proposal: CKM_AES_GMAC

This is a signing mechanism with a CK_AES key.

Used by IPsec. GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) for Message Authentication Code 
(MAC).
It is a special case of GCM: The MAC is computed on the "Additional 
Authenticated Data" passed in via the mechanism parameter. There is no 
plaintext or ciphertext.
